I was honored to attend the College of Nursing’s Diversity and Inclusion in Nursing certification award on April 18th, 2017. Throughout my Freshman year, I was working toward this certificate as I tracked the diversity outreach and learning opportunities that I participated in online. I achieved Ally level of the certification, which is the first level of three (accomplished over the course of three years. Besides relating to diversity and inclusion which is a large portion of International Affairs, this ceremony was important to me because about half of my logged events were events I attended as an International Affairs Scholar, not as a Pre-Nursing student. Being an IA scholar helped me to achieve the six events required to reach Ally status and that is why this ceremony made it onto my ePortfolio. Now as a hopeful nursing student, I can display a pin on my uniform that tells patients that they can open up to me with any concerns involving diversity and inclusion throughout the course of their treatment.
